Who was in the wrong here? Literally all I did was try to bring civilization to a savage world of alien creatures and murderous psychos and they try to kill me for it.
You hurt your daughteru. Daughterus are only for kisses, hugs and headpats.
Colton King
The only time he seems a bit like a good guy is when a former employee of his talks about him. He had already enslaved his daughter by the time BL1 starts. Who knows what other shit he did before TPS.
Josiah Nelson
Honestly, almost everyone on Pandora is an unlikable piece of shit and he tried to bring order to what is essentially lawless land. Also, considering how Hyperion works as a corporation, you can't blame him for keeping his minions in check and being a bit of a dick towards them. Literally did nothing wrong except hurt his daughter.

I forgot because the pre-sequel was an awful game. Wasn't the whole point of Jack's arc trying to make him sympathetic to what he was doing cause everyone in hyperion was a bunch of fucking buffoons?
Jackson Collins
Jack literally did nothing wrong in bl2. The pre sequel just hammers home how fucking terrible the vault hunters from bl1 really were, except Brick and Mordecai who were brought in to suffer because of Lilith and Roland.

Jack is a bad guy. All the Vault Hunters are bad guys. Most NPCs are bad guys. Literally no one on Pandora is good. The whole game is just villains fighting each other because each one thinks they're in the right.
Kevin Foster
>Who was in the wrong here?
I only played BL2 but he deserves all the shit thrown at him.
TPS and Tales seemed like they bent over backwards to try and make it seem like he was justified in his actions but at the same time ruining every other character in the series in the process
Luke Jones
How so?
Christian Clark

Jacks mission to civilize Pandora is the only right thing tho. Everyone else wants to keep the planet as a ancap colony.

cilvilize? He was taking over the planet with an iron fist.

Only way to civilize it if people would rather shoot you on sight for some scraps than listen to a word you say about longterm profits.

I really hate how they pushed the "Claptrap" is annoying joke in Borderlands 2. Of course he is for a fact annoying in Borderlands 2 as they completly overblown his character; in 1 he wasn't even a bother and him and the other Claps were pretty useful >hating on base Wilhelm He retroactively deserved better than being a massive jobber, one of most fun character I got to play in Borderlands along with Krieg
He wasn't at first, but nearly getting blown up with the moon colony almost dying because of it made him go a little insane.
He was literally going down to kill bandits and only bandits until Roland and Lilith convinced him people on the surface were too dangerous to keep alive.
Owen Cook
>He wasn't at first, but nearly getting blown up with the moon colony almost dying because of it made him go a little insane. at, TPS retcons to try and justify his bullshit.
>He was literally going down to kill bandits and only bandits until Roland and Lilith convinced him people on the surface were too dangerous to keep alive. He stuck them, they stuck back. He deserves being branded as evil, even by Borderlands standards
Alexander Cox
>deserved better Maybe, but at least he was a boss, Nisha was slightly better than a random enemy, sad but nothing to do there, is obvious they never really intended to do anything with those characters back in the day
Dominic Price
>evil, even by Borderlands standards The irony is that no one outside the degenerates on Pandora thinks that Jack was evil.
Benjamin Edwards
>The irony is that no one outside the degenerates on Pandora thinks that Jack was evil.
and there in lies the problem. We never see outside of Pandora, so all we have is the perspective of Pandora
>We never see outside of Pandora In Tales from the Borderlands, Jack is seen as a martyr in Hyperion and what a CEO should be.
Gavin Sanchez
Yes he was at first. He was always insane. The only time he doesn't seem insane is the first 5 minutes before you actually get to know him. Then he opens his mouth and you realized he's a sociopath. You're specifically ignoring all of the killing he did for fun and the fact that he imprisoned his daughter. Anyone who says Handsome Jack was unironically a good guy is a brainlet retard who only pays attention to their favorite parts and thinks everything that disagrees with those parts aren't real. Just because the writing is shit doesn't mean things that happened didn't fucking happen.
Austin Green
figures the company would suck the dick of their CEO, no matter how evil he is.
Ian Murphy
Jack was evil and what he was doing was wrong but if he wiped out Pandora's population and replaced them with new colonizers it could probably be an actual place to live. The planet had tons of resources.
Daniel King
>Then he opens his mouth and you realized he's a sociopath. Actually Jack cares for the Hyperion workers and it's even said that the Hyperion station would be a shithole deathtrap for normal employees if he wasn't there to manage it.

doesn't he kill some of them in TPS because they disagreed with him?

That was after he went fucking nuts and someone told him there was a traitor in the midst.

Roland was OK, too. He genuinely apologizes. Lilith and Moxxi were uber cunts and made Jack go over the edge.
Parker Brooks
I'm just glad that Vladof and Maliwan are at top places, though I'd put Dahl a few places higher
Wyatt Richardson
He wasn't top dog in BL1. He was just some accountant or something having his daughter con some vault hunters into opening the vault so he can take the riches. only to find out it was guarded by a giant asshole monster called the destroyer. He then stole the destroyers eye. Made Hyperion's laser out of it. Got promoted. Then hyperion got attack by some chucklefucks in Pre-Sequel and his mercenaries he hired beat them back. He killed his boss and became the new head of Hyperion for BL2 in which his twisted mind that can't trust anyone fucked out everyone he ever cared for or worked with.
Sebastian Hughes
S&S is literally Bandit minus the accuracy debuff. The fuck were you thinking?
Mason Miller
It's important to remember that going by BL1 dialogue Angel, and by extension Jack, knew about the monsters in the vaults from the beginning. Atlas opening the Vault and getting fucked by the Destroyer may or may not have been part of the plan from the beginning.
David Adams
t. can't aim.
James Green
Bandit guns are literally unusable garbage with awful stats outside mag size, the fuck are you on?
He killed tons of innocent people. One of the first ECHO pickup missions is him killing tons of innocent civilians.
Leo Gomez
BL seems to have this weird ability of writing great characters but then undermine/shit on them for retarded reasons and make the shittiest characters the ones in the "right".
Presequal could've been really interesting if they a point that Lilith was far from innocent and the underlying intentions of people were more complex then "x is good and y is bad". But it's seemed like they made Jack into a well written entirely by accident and make the shit ones the one we have to root for.
Parker Moore
I think you were supposed to see Lilith as bad. Athena is meant to be us in TPS and she says that she wanted to kill Lilith and friends after the betrayal, I think all of them do except for Claptrap.
Plus Mordecai and Brick strongly disagreeing with her butthurt choice to kill Athena. I don't know if it'll go anywhere, but I think Lilith WAS supposed to come across as the bad guy.
Noah Ward
Sucks that in TPS the Vault Hunters don't really interact with each other or talk all too much about the situation they are currently in.
Nicholas Cook
There was literally an ECHO in Opportunity where Jack has an employee’s children killed simply for thinking that no one would want to bring their family to Pandora. Jack doesn’t give a fuck about his employees.
Matthew Bennett
I take solace in the fact that Wilhelm goes on to single-handedly BTFO Lilith and friends.
Just too bad he didn't actually kill her.
Isaiah Miller
>Finally try to play Mordecai >his bird is so fucking useless >no innate ammo regen >Revolvers and Snipers are the slowest clearing guns of the game
BL1 characters have not aged well. That being said Mordecai is the only good one, so fuck you.

Borderlands 2 had better features and level design and was way bigger then Borderlands 1. However, the comedy is shit, and the bosses aren't memorable at all. Don't pretend like BL1 is some bastion of gameplay because it's good, but BL2 improves in it in every single way
Noah Young
Just beat the main game today. Revolvers and snipers are a bit ass at first, but a good BL1 revolver is more fun than a single gun in BL2. Max out accuracy and get a pistol fire rate class mod. Bloodwing's useless, I'll give you that.
>hating on the Pre-Sequel Being able to shoot lazers instead of shitty E-Tech, navigate jump pads with Oz kits instead of trudging over flat terrain, and have abilities that are actually both fun and functional definitely put it far ahead of BL2. The hate for it is incredibly overblown.
Grayson Cruz
>at, TPS retcons to try and justify his bullshit. No it doesn't, Jack in DL2 is still completely justified since they've always said the people on Pandora are fucking lowlife criminal scum with a few innocents mixed in. This is also the guy who lost his wife to his daughter and had to claw his way up the corporate ladder of Hyperion via murder and blackmail. Guy had to suffer to get where he's at.
Luis Martinez
by itself it's useless, you need bird skills, specifically the damage boost, health drain and increased number of targets as for pistols, the correct build is the 2 tier 1 skills and the chaotic regen, dig into the sniper tree for Trespass and use mashers and corrosive revolvers exclusively
Austin Gonzalez
He was also abused as a child.
Ryder Hill
>Revolvers >Slow There's a mod for Mordecai that lets you regenerate Revolver ammo, not really that good other than that but Revolvers are the fucking strong. One Corrosive revolver can carry you to the end of General Knoxx.
Dylan Martinez
Presequel is the most feature rich game in the series so far and BL1 story is full blown garbage for starters.
Not reading anything else since I'm obviously dealing with a BL1 fanboy.
Caleb Adams
No he wasn't, the guy was held together by will and ambition until Lilith fucked his shit up and scarred his face. He was good, and did horrible things for the good of many, his daughter would've died if he didn't keep her in there and we don't know if he was working on a way to get her out of there, he had the syren dampening collar, but even with that his daughter needed the irridium to live. We only know she killed her mother, and that she was a syren to somebody who worked at Hyperion which probably means the experimentation wasn't optional for her, there's probably no where else she was safe.
Jack's had a hard life.
Daniel Morgan
Playing the remaster the story IS a bit better knowing what's going on with Angel, but yeah, looking at the release, the story was non-existent.
Jose Gutierrez
The scientists were saying one of them was a traitor, and Jack couldn't be sure who was the real rat, so he flushed them all to keep the hyperion station and the moon colony safe.
Adam Butler
>slag your entire argument is invalid
James Howard
>he murdered and blackmailed people >also try to exploit and kill of an indigenous people because he was told they were bad guys >but he's totally a good guy, I swear I don't even know what any of this is about but that sounds retarded
Isaac Diaz
Please mix up the "increased damage" mechanic between corrosive and cryo in BL3 each was the "slag" of their respective titles and actually had a purpose besides "more damage, use new gun now"
Mason Lee
What's the best "mod" to use on Borderlands 2 to remove the Slag / Grog Nozzle and spongy fucker balancing issues?
Are there even mods?!
Elijah Lee
>also try to exploit and kill of an indigenous people because he was told they were bad guys >indigenous >Pandora bandit plz, nobody gives a shit about filthy criminals >he murdered and blackmailed people have you seen Hyperion's upper mangement before Jack took over? They were worse than he was in every way, incompetent murderous nepotistic retards, he only gets bad with blackmail once he gets pushed over the edge.
Michael Rivera
>indigenous people
There are no indigenous people on Pandora. Everybody there is either a colonist not important enough to be taken away with Dahl when they left, or literal criminal slave labor abandoned on the planet.
William Morris

Samuel Diaz
Just don't play any OP shit. Up to and including ultimate VH mode can be done playing the actual game, not the slag this game.
Jace Richardson
>leaks say AI Jack is back
Looks like kino's back on the menu boys
That being said he is a bit of an asshole, there's that part at the end of Tales of the Borderlands where he asks someone if they've seen Rhys and when they fuck up the response he guns them down for no real reason. He's still the hero compared to pretty much everyone else but that doesn't vindicate him 100%
I think they shouldn't have left Jacks body in the Vault. There's a good chance that he'll be the new "warrior" and we'll have a whole godking of dune thing going on with him.
Ryan Miller
>where the fuck is Sal, Krieg, Axton, and Gaige.
Gonna be assmad if they don't return. A.I. Jack is cool, but PLEASE give the Calypso's a chance to be the main villains, and good ones at that.
Pretty much every character in borderlands is a massive asshole piece of crap in some way shape or form. Hell out of the player characters the only ones I can think of that arent are maybe Mordecai, because he just wants to drink and play with his bird, and fucking Krieg if you consider the fact that the "real him" basically has no control over his body but will force suicide if he kills a innocent person
Joshua Gomez
>He's still the hero compared to pretty much everyone else but that doesn't vindicate him 100% His life was terrible and he held on pretty good till the end of pre sequel. He's not 100% not a piece of shit, but it's sad to see what happened to him when all he wanted to do was build up pandora for the people on the moon and formerly the people left behind by jakobs.

I hope she dies in 3. Maybe Jack wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't fucking burn his face and stab him in the back.
>story: BL1 >hahaha! the game with virtually no story? I'll put it first! that will make me seem like a true gamer! hahahahha!
Blake King
I tried playing this again with friends and god damn I forgot how stupid the gameplay was. You're constantly dying because you have no option to avoid bullets since they're too fast and you have no such thing as a dodge or block. You can't strafe either. It'd be fine if you didn't lose 90% of your health and shield in 2 seconds.
Honestly Jack was right, wiping out Pandora wouldn't have negatively affected anything else. I really hate that it wasn't written by a non-retarded person because I feel like it could have been really nice to have a game where you're objectively the bad guys.
He wouldn't have, he also wouldn't have killed Mordecai's bird or fucked Brick's shit. He also would've worked with Roland to wipe out the bandits on pandora and leave the actual sane functioning people.
Well, he probably wouldn't have been THAT good. He did airlock those scientists because he thought one of them was working for Zarpedon.
Nathaniel Turner
You can avoid projectiles in good shooters, not necessarily with either of those. The only thing you can do in borderlands is hide behind a wall.
David Green
user, BL2 tries to play like something it's not. The first borderlands was trying to be a lot more of a cover shooter but they kept the cover shooter elements in 2.
We can only hope in 3 that they do something to remedy that.
Ethan Jenkins
Enemies are stupid accurate, nothing you can do about it except merc them before they do anything.
Luis Perez
He would have only been based if he had fulfilled his job as a father and fucked Angel's sweet siren pussy.

Connor Adams

>tfw you realize Angel died a virgin.
Such waste.
William Morris
Sal will get his own DLC as a sheriff or something.
Cameron Davis
Every character has a way to mitigate damage in some way, whether it be a thing to throw out to distract enemies or just giving regen/damage resist to yourself. There's really no reason you'll ever need to play it as cover shooter unless your gear is complete shit, or you're zer0, and even then you can have a -cooldown relic and class mod for him to just go into decepti0n a billion times.
Blake Powell
I thought I was the only one who had a boner for her. Borderlands has given me a fetish for all these punk and sidecut sluts. Thank god they are so prevalent in porn.
I wish Liliths' pussy game wasn't so ridiculous. But redheads tend to be black guys weakness. Like superman and kryptonite. Vampires and garlic. Fat chicks and post valentines day chocolate cake.

In BL1 he was pretty ok apart from telling you there's new missions every 5 minutes, but at least he didn't treat you like shit.
In BL2 I fucking despise the little shit, and every time I have to start a new playthrough I mute the game until I get to Hammerlock so I don't have to listen to fucking Claptrap he's such a fucking piece of shit I hate him.
Pre-Sequel has more features than BL2, the fuck are you smoking
Wyatt Martin
She's only "good" because of the creepy over the top lez pushing and no one liked any of that shit. Being straight as a woman and not some kind of creepy fucks anything skank = has to be evil. Seriously.

Jace Long

>Game teaches you the importance of shooting for critical hits and applying a de-buff known as "Slag" to increase your damage against tougher enemies >Game then introduces enemies that completely ignore these mechanics
That guy's a big ass mini boss and he can't be slagged or crit at all. To be fair there's only 1 (not counting the OP level thing) so it's not that bad but he's fucking obnoxious to fight, especially if you don't know that shit and keep shooting his joints like EVERY OTHER LOADER EVER.

Isaac Clark
In 1? Not really outside atlas being great at everything and maliwan only making elemental. In 2 the differences are much more signifigant, like tediores are all grenades instead of reloading and dahl all burst fire when zoomed and etc.
Ryan King
elemental athena is a lot of fun space australians are the biggest shitposters so tps could've been funny if it weren't for cuckthony birch writing too much waiting for dialogue to end before you get q objectives tho
Jeremiah Watson
There's one scene where Roland tells Lilith to calm her tits and let him handle the situation but nothing happens because this is the presequel and good writing gets buried under memes.
How the fuck does that cutscene show that Jack did nothing wrong? Are you completely delusional?
Brody Ross

>ITT People who played the Presequel but not TFTB Jack was a fucking amazing character but he couldn't go 5 minutes without stroking his ego or backstabbing someone while crying about being backstabbed. I'm almost tempted to post spoilers just to prove my point. Go play Tales from the Borderlands you fucking retards.
Colton Bell
i kinda like the censors, somehow it makes it goofier like that one shotgun that calls you a cunt and yells to stick it in
Ayden Anderson
You can go change a couple of lines in your computer so all dialog gets muted and is skipped since the game would look for it in a file that doesn't exist so it would skip it completely.

James Barnes
Reminder that before the big meanies on pandora totally forced him to be evil he was still locking his daughter up and using her to con people
Jace Brooks
Mod loaders help for the first two.
Pre-sequel has the best class options and has decent weapon options but anthony burch's writing drags the game down hard and having only 3 zones doesn't help the matters.
Evan Garcia
He was crazy by that point and legitimately doesn't think shit through in the final act.
William Ross
Differences in 1 were minor which was nice. Obvious ones were jakobs low rate of fire but high damage and maliwan having high elemental multipliers. Brands in 2 had a larger difference which I didint really like desu. Hope they tone it down in 3.
Connor Hall

user, everyone in the series is rainbow as fuck. Except for Jack, Roland and Angel. Eating pussy =/= get some importance that demands that the cahracter be brought back. If anything..after the backlash the game is going to get for it's MCs. I honestly believe they'll tone down the homosex and alternative lifestyles stuff.
David Garcia
I think you mean >*misses 10 shots and then the mag runs out after the next 10*
Henry Harris
There are two gimmicks per manufacturer now. Jakobs, for instance, kept the firerate from 2, and added a ricochet effect.
Henry Carter
Each brand has special characteristics. Teodore weapons are thrown like a grenade and explode on reload, effectively wasting the rounds in the mag if you reload early. Tourge guns have slow projectiles but explosive rounds, bandit guns have exorbitant magazine sizes but usually shit stats otherwise, etc etc.
Dominic Price
Timothy is alright. Scooter is murderous, but he's cool in my book.
James Sanders
Torgue has stick bullets that'll probably function like the Needler from Halo, Vladof gets grenade launchers, Hyperion gets a frontal energy shield, really they're all a little more specialized that before
Joseph James

Easton Ortiz
The bird is mostly useless, but Revolvers are god-tier. A good revolver with Mordecai can wreck entire rooms in seconds if you're not an aimlet. If you need ammo regen there is a legendary that regens revolver ammo so quickly that you'll never run out again.
Elijah Carter
For some reason I completely forgot about the content itself in the levels. But you're right, the mini dlcs are a lot better than hammerlock+captain scarlet (I like torgue's memefest more than I'd like to admit). Outside maybe the snow one but that's almost certainly because I played it to farm the loot train a billion times.
2 has some good points, granted. Way, way better playable characters and skill trees. Way better level designs.
But the loot, which is like 60% of the appeal, got hamstrung something fierce in the transition from 1 to 2. S&S, Atlas, and Eridian just disappeared (Pour some out for S&S best guns). What did we get in their place? Bandit, which kept the mag size of S&S but lost all the accuracy and damage. And they looked like shit. Oh, and E-tech weapons which are actually 90% shit ammo wasters.
We lost weapon types on top of manufacturers getting restricted from what weapon types they could generate. Rip hyperion assault rifles. Rip torgue snipers.
And on top of THAT, explosive went from being a great element to a gimmick ammo thereby making almost all torgue weapons worse and anything spawning with a torgue barrel worse.
And under the hood further, there are just less options in weapon generation. Less parts are available even before the gimmicks and restriction types get bundled in. This all means that there are significantly less guns in 2 than there are 1. And that's awful.
Don't even get me started about slag, elements nerfed in general, and the full retard damage/hp scaling that makes guns obsolete in a few levels no matter how lucky your part rolls were.
That's just a boss, bosses are always immune to status
Cameron Jackson
I can agree with everything else, but fuck you, torgue guns are so fun in 2.
Alexander Kelly
>athena >lez Eh I'm playing through T-bone junction right now and Scooter is explicitly T-boning her.
William Bailey
The legendary meta was bullshit.
Sebastian Evans
Eridian dissipated for a good reason. Those weapons were fucking shit and there wasn't a single rarity to them that was higher than green.
As much as I agree with you i think the manufacturers needed some differences other than some have better stat strength then others. Unless you're Torgue in BL1, in which case you are good at everything.
Also Torgue in BL2 I think is a still great. They have the best shotguns, some of the best rifles if you find a good one, and most of its legendaries are fucking amazing. Hopefully in BL3 they'll make the manufacturors be less gimmicky or more well rounded.
Dylan Cook

And their own special combat level is dumb as fuck too
Asher Cooper

Connor Williams
U fockin' wot Torgue barrels ruing everything in 2. Explosive element was something you looked forward to in 1. In 2 it's a disappointment because landing shots outside of point blank range is a fucking chore and they eat all your ammo.

They're not terribly great though.
Juan Gray
Her backstory is basically the only "heroic" one.
Carson Taylor
It means you HAVE to waste a slot on slag, for the bonus damage.
It invalidates elements, since it only buffs bullet damage.
Christian Rogers
I got the collection and tried TPS for the first time. Doppleganger is based, but other than that the writing and quests are hot fucking garbage. I keep going back to 2 because I have to play on fucking mute
Alexander Hill
>tries to purge the land of what he deems undesirables
Borderlands team is actually Nazi's and Handsome Jack is their way of trying to subtly influence the younger generation to like Hitler.
Sebastian Campbell
What's so bad about slag?
Gavin Ross
making a weapon type that only exists to introduce a minigame for other weapons to do actually appropriate damage is boring and gay
Lincoln Cruz
Unless you're playing as best girl Maya
Brayden Martinez
The level of cruelty is too high to make him an actually good misguided hero. The guy was just an asshole who thought he was better than everyone else who would now and then say "I'm the hero", which isn't enough. You don't actually see any positive effects of what he did on Pandora. Everything he has done hasn't been good to anyone. You could remove all bits of dialogue of him saying anything about being the hero and it wouldn't change his character at all. Like, if he started off in the game as a character actually wanting to help but your actions over time drive them to seeking to destroy everyone instead could make for a better story. Instead we get a one dimensional evil for the sake of evil bad guy who's also obnoxious.
You're basically required to use it in the higher difficulties, because the enemies have such high hp and regen that you can't really counter unless you're melee Krieg because his melee boosts are just that fucking massive.
Aaron Ward
>Wedding Day Massacre >that irish battle music >both the main quest and side quest are funny >steal fucking baby and make it cry >>every vaulthunter has unique dialog that expands their character >Maya yelling "SORRY I'M A COMPLETIONIST" as she kills takes Stella's wig and kills her and her boyfriend just to finish a quest.
It's something to play. If anything it's not as good as 2, but the gameplay has some more mechanics. Also its only DLC expansion is pretty good. Main story is pretty alright if you are interested in Jack and shit and played stuff like Tales of Borderlands before hand.
Basically if you're a fan of the series itself, you'll likely enjoy everything in it save for some Australian jokes and development quality, Janey "did you know i'm a big fucking lesbian carpet muncher" Springs, and other such burch writing quotas. It's fun if you make it fun though. I suggest playing Jack or Nisha if you want an easy time, or Jack, Athena, or Claptrap if you want an fun time.
>the fact that he imprisoned his daughter. You didn't see what she did to her mother. He had to restrains Angel's power. You got that! He had to!.
Zachary Campbell
By itself, nothing much, it'd be a handy element for tough enemies if you can't brute force your way out. But UVHM makes it practically mandatory thanks to the insane health boost all enemies get, where even a basic Bandit can take 2-3 magazines to drop without Slag or a blatantly power Legendary (which will probably lose its effectiveness in a few levels)
Leo Lee
I pass him the boof on the condition he show me a magic trick using the boof
Noah Cruz
Just use Moxxi's gun, it's fucking amazing
Chase Wood
No way TFtBl will ever be surpassed. They managed to do not one but 5 (five, 五, cinco) perfect OPs.
Lucas Lee
>they actually made scooter more than just a fucking joke >kill him off just over halfway through
why
Jaxon Russell
Because VA is having medical issues and is also actually dying. He could barely do the voice anymore.
Daniel Sullivan
Axton has slag on turrets, Salvador negates this by dual wielding, Gaige just fucks your shit up with anarchy, Krieg only needs Firehawk shield to be a killing machine...
Zer0 is fucked though
Eli Smith
You mean Battleborn
Owen Barnes
>they actually made a game in which Borderlands had actual stakes in it and made it have some form of impact >it ends and the company goes bankrupt
Dominic Sanders
Wait shit, really? Well at least it was done well.
Damn that's depressing. As dumb as his character was I'll miss him.
Nathan Baker
Helena Pierce came closer than anyone else to maintaining civilization and unlike some others it wasn't only for profit.
Brandon Brown
I mean he was messaged by Blake pretty much saying if he didn't want to die that he'd have to move. doesn't make his decision of going to Pandora any better. Also he's not dead if he's still a zombie; which he is in canon.
Chase Evans
This is some gay sounding shit. I really hope 3 is nothing like it.
Caleb Torres
Also Roland too. Who.. also ended up fucking dead. I guess the 'good' guys can't get a brake. Wonder who will die in 3.
Hudson Fisher
a group of 4 claptraps was the most fun i had in tps
Jaxon Peterson
>played through the game literally yesterday >actually teared up during that How they managed to make me care that much about a funny haha redneck meme character is amazing.
Bentley Ortiz
No
Isaac Fisher
Are you a ninty fan?
Luke Gonzalez
>bird >useless It becomes a zone wiping clear machine once you've buffed it up enough.
Big problem with Mordikai is he focuses a lot of his bonuses on snipers and revolvers, which aren't terrible weapons, but in diablo style games DPS and clearspeed is everything, thus having high raw DPS is better then having high burst damage, and revolvers and snipers are shit for that.
Henry Ramirez
So it sounds LESS bad, but still bad. >murder is okay when it's unimportant criminals or other murderers I'm not saying you're 100% off, but I dunno
John Morales
Shit....is that why it sounds so different from bl1 to bl2?
Adam White
Is there a more boring fucking protagonist than Axton?
Lincoln Rodriguez
Mordecai in 1 exclusively. He gets better in 2 onward but fuck is he boring in 1. Even fucking Roland is better.
>Be level 42 zer0 >ng+ >kinda underlevel equipment but managing because of crits >enter reserve >struggle with stalkers >get past them >get to the robots >kinda trash but possible >badass comes in >motherfucker han no eye weak point >bust both arms, he's at 20% health >one shots me with the eye beam >spawn at the start of the zone >youtube.com/watch?v=-1qju6V1jLM >reach the badass loader >he's back at full health and now he has no weakpoints Fuck Randy fuck Anthony and fuck 2k
Fuck TK Baha. I can't believe I actually collected 400 brains for him.
Carter Gomez
>pistol fags
ahahaha
Samuel Williams
I'll never forget his usage of a spoon
Bentley Williams
That's a really nice firerate, grandma.
Jeremiah Murphy
>needing a good firerate when you shoot 20 projectiles or so at once
Dominic Cruz
This, except for the slagga, probably the only good bandit gun
Aiden Hernandez
Pretty much all the other vault hunters except Krieg and TPS. Krieg was interesting and TPS had unique dialogue for all of them. BL1 and 2s only become characters when you aren’t playing as them. I hope they make them and the vault hunters you play as in 3 as interesting.
There's a cut echo log in 2 that says Jack weakened Wilhelm with poison before his fight in 2 to assure he was killed and the fake power core would be picked up. Otherwise he would've likely put up a raid tier fight.
Samuel Wilson
>needing healing >not just pressing F when you health gets to ! territory
Do you even Krieg?
Austin Cox
>slags u
Luke Brown
>first game has a mission where you help some rando find a new place to live because he doesn't want to be lead by a woman >second game has Mr. Torge yelling NOTHING IS MORE BADASS THEN RESPECTING WOMEN
Brayden Adams
Jakobs has two types of guns: instakill guns, and almost instakill, fire-a-drum-in-0.3-seconds guns
Joseph Walker
She has shit taste in women but that's it.
Gavin Cox
She only got killed because of Roland and Lilith.
Evan Allen
So does everyone else with two brain cells to rub together.
Wyatt Wood
I thought that was a parody of sjw's. Was it supposed to be serious?
Knowing Anthony Bitch it probably was but obviously coming out of Mr.Torgue's mouth it's ridiculous.
Ryan Jones
it feels too goofy to not be a joke, especially the bit in TPS where Mr. Torgue starts talking about how the friend zone isn't real
Colton Young
I like how the writers in 2 forgot that bloodwing was a male and then made up a half-assed excuse as to why the gender was different.
Mason Hill
They completely remade how the moon looks in 1 in the remaster because the moon in 2 is more iconic. They also apparently changed how angel appears in all the games now.
What if they just don't have enemies be bullet sponges? You're blaming slag but what you should blame is Gearboxes retardation
Luis Butler
they're both a problem. Slag is a bad solution to a problem that shouldn't exist
Adam Sullivan
I think so. Hopefully.
Alexander Garcia
well what do you want better AI or something kek
James Ward
Writing is fucking horrible I heard a rumor that Burch made the writing in TPS worse because he wanted to spite his critics and I actually don't doubt it. It doesn't help that half of the game was done by a team of Aussies but then Burch came in and told them "this game is mine now". Aside from that the game is fine but it sucks that they abandoned it and didn't add any DLC.
Kevin Fisher
Burch wrote it so it was likely serious
Adrian James
Hey, Sal was pretty alright.
Adrian Lewis
yea but he's a spic, and a manlet
Christopher Stewart
Isn't he a cannibal?
Carson Thomas
He killed an employee's family just for asking why anyone would want to come to pandora.
Its like australia times 10, that's why. Its seasonal cycle literally flashes between desert and tundra.
Austin Sanders
anarchy build?
Ryder Wright
BL2 had a lot of fun uniques before they nerfed every single fucking one of them because apparently balance is important in a co-op shoot n' loot.
Matthew Wright
Having millions of unpaid convicts doing slave labor recently left alone to fend for themselves with very hostile wildlife waking up from an eight year hibernation could see how shitty the planet could become.
Ian Myers
She looks ragged the fuck out. Did every male on Pandora run a train on her when she turned 14?
Levi Hill
It was colonized by people from Alabama.
Jaxon Reed
Pandora is a very shitty planet itself. Having 90 hour rotation cycle and a horseshoe shaped gravity path ariunf it's star means it's very fucking cold for a while, is nice for a little bit once it reaches the curve melting the tundra on the surface and then misersble hell desert being close to the Sun in it's Summer.
Leo Taylor
Considering the place is a lawless wasteland and for a while she was alone in an undefended cave it is pretty likely at one point bandits got sick of her shit and did a raid
Asher Nelson
Anyone got the chart of all the new company's gun effects?
Julian Wilson
Given the shit that happened to her as a kid, I don't think she looks that bad. She literally went insane after her parents were murdered in front of her in a horrific science experiment, and had to survive on her own on PANDORA..
She's lucky to be alive.
Evan Stewart
Marcus admits in the very first moment of BL1 that in spite of the intolerable lifestyle, the people living there are just fine with it.
Brody Brown
He only started pumping her with the Eridium because he wanted the Vault Key supercharged ASAP.
Easton Stewart
athena is best girl
Brandon Phillips
>He was good, and did horrible things for the good of many, So he was bad. Glad we could clear that up.
